Universal remote

Irresistible ipod Sometimes its fun to combine high and low technology, like remotes and woodturning.

I got a new big screen theater just recently and was overwhelmed by the # of remotes, 4 to be exact.

I know that you can buy a “universal remote” and get one to do it all. In fact my upstairs system works that way.

The wood turner in me immediately started imagining a solution and then things got out of control, see below. Or WATCH THE VIDEO on the Turnedoutright channel.

Of course I modeled the design in SketchUp…… see the model.


Slots were routed before turning. Then the body and handle was turned

    Great idea, and a handy ‘weapon’ should someone try to take the remotes away from you!

    All the very best!
